Chirp 3260 Hardware Installation Manual INTRODUCTION The Chirp 3260 Echosounder is a high output power echosounder that can be used for full ocean depth surveys and sub-bottom profiling. The standard configuration is dual channel (3.5kHz, 50ohm, 10kW and 12kHz, 200ohm, 2kW).
System Dimensions The Chirp 3260 is housed in a standard 19", 5U rackmount case. Due to the weight of the system it is recommended that sliding rails or support rails be used as part of the installation. Final fastening points of the Front Panel are shown in the drawing below.
For proper cooling and airflow it is recommended that a minimum 1U gap be left directly above the Chirp 3260. The image below shows the locations of the system cooling fans and air intake slots.
System Connection 2.3.1 Peripherals All Chirp 3260 peripheral equipment (GPS, Heave Compensator, etc) are to be connected directly to the host PC. The configuration (baud rate, parity, start/stop bits, etc) of each peripheral is handled using the EchoControl Client software application.
C - LOW 2.4.3 AC Input The Chirp 3260 needs to be powered from an AC source. The voltage range is 90-132 / 180 - 264 AC (auto selectable) with a frequency range of 47-63 Hz. Part Number: MS3470L12-3P Mating Connector: MS3476L12-3S (or equivalent)
Out BNC provides a similar signal an each ping interval. 2.4.8 USB Interface The USB interface provides communication to and from the Chirp 3260 and the host PC. It is a full speed 2.0 (12Mbps) connection. It mates with a standard “B” type USB cable. Part Number: USBBFTV22N Mating Cable: D219-05424 (provided with shipment) The information contained in this document is proprietary data of Knudsen Engineering Limited.
